Use the Input Select button to select between two different video signals that may be connected to your monitor.

 

If both VGA and DVI cables are connected to one PC, this monitor will display an image automatically just as long as a video signal is present in either

 

VGA or DVI outputs. When connecting one display to two PCs, if using screen savers, best to set both to the exact times. Whichever mouse is moved
